This is another of my 'perversities', that I commissioned the milling of the rear protective ring surrounding the rear lens element so as to allow the metering cell to 'see' part of the white circle on the M6's shutter blind. When this is done the M6 can read an imperfect (1 stop low) setting which saves you having to: a) buy a different lens, b) take a seperate meter with you c) put a different lens on to take a meter reading with. It's rash but it works, best regards, Jem Hans Pahlen wrote: > Mary, SA means Super Angulon. The 'SA' will not meter on > any M-body, > > Hans
